Fallen Angel

Shannon's wrath

Shannon felt that maybe things had finally settled down. That they could continue for a while without to much of an issue. But being who they were and where they lived usually brought more problems than they were ready for.
Shannon sat on the porch swing looking towards the sky. Something didnt feel right, as if something that had been brewing was about to come to pass.
"Hey." Clark said to her coming out by her. "How long have you been up?"
"Couple hours."
"You could have woke me I would have come out."
"You needed the sleep."
"So do you, this is the third time this week you've been up early."
"Clark I'm fine. I just have had a weird feeling lately."
"Like what?" He asked sitting down next to her.
"Something we dont need is coming. And I don't think either of us are ready for it."
"And what ever it is we will face it together."
"I hope your right. Because I have a feeling this is going to be something neither of us are ready for."
He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him. She rest her back against his chest. He knew never to over think about anything or it would be their undoing.

Clark arrived at the farm days later, Shannon looked at him oddly.
"What's wrong?"
"Its Lex."
"What about him?"
"You remember Milton Fine?"
"Yeah that strange teacher that wasn't really a teacher."
"Yeah him. Well he wants me to release someone named Zod."
"And you told him?"
"No."
"Ok so what is the problem and what does it have with Lex?"
"He's the vessel. He is what Zod would come to possess. Jor-el wants me to kill him."
"You wont kill anyone I know that."
"Exactly. I have to figure out how to keep this from happening without killing someone."
"We will figure it out. I mean I could do it."
"Shannon."
"I know."
"Go to the mansion and see if you can talk to him."
"Yeah that might help."
Clark kissed her and took off. Shannon sat there for a while before heading inside. Clark was right she was very tired so she went and lay down on the couch, she fell asleep quickly. It was dark out when she woke, she reached above her to turn the light on and looked at it puzzled as it wouldn't turn on.
Clark walked into the barn, he stopped as he saw Lex on the far end.
"What's your choice Clark are you going to kill me?"
"You can't blame me for this." Clark said to him
"You love you do."
"You're not yourself."
"But maybe I am."

Shannon decided to head out to the barn. As she entered she could hear Clark and Lex talking. She walked further into the barn in time to see Lex throw Clark up into the loft. Lex ended up laying on his back with Clark holding a silver dagger to Lex's throat.
"Do it Clark. Prove you are your father's son."
Shannon jumped and turned to see Milton Fine standing next to her. Clark stood and thew the dagger hitting Fine dead in his chest.
"What have I done?"
"You opened the portal for Zod."
Shannon stood there as everything glowed red and then looked to see Fine was gone. Shannon decided to go up by Clark and walked up the stairs. She caught the end of the conversation. She saw a silver disc go past Clark and then suddenly him pulled from the barn.
"CLARK! What did you do?" She shouted grabbing Lex by the front of his suit.
"He's gone forever." He answered as if it explained everything. Shannon threw him out the barn. Her wings sprung from her back and she followed him out. 
"Lex, I hated you before now I will end your life." She screamed at him.
"Lex is dead my name is Zod."
"I don't care what your damned name is. You will not live to see another day."
"You can try."
Shannon growled and came at him, her wings pulling back as she slammed into him sending him flying backwards. He took to the sky, Shannon smiled almost evilly as she followed him.
"It doesn't matter where we fight I have taken on Kal-El in the sky."
"I am better than that child." He said coming at her. Shannon easily dodged him, grabbing his shirt and throwing him into the barn sending him through the wall. She dove down into the hole, he caught her by the throat as she came through.
"You act in anger." He hissed at her. Shannon smiled and kicked out sending him away from her.
"I act out of fury beyond anger. You've taken the one thing that kept my darker side in check that kept me from killing anyone. He is gone and as such I will enjoy taking your life." Shannon said to him. He almost laughed at her.
"You can try."
"I'll do more than try." She said coming at him. She swung at him hitting Lex in the jaw drawing blood.
"Your not Kryptonian there is no way you can do this."
"I know I'm not." She said. She came at him again, this time he dodged and did what Clark did the last time he defeated her, he grabbed onto one of her wings and pulled her towards him. The pain was intense but she found the strength to slam her head into his freeing herself. She went to the ground, gasping for breath trying to calm the pain. He came and landed in front of her. Shannon stood and took a fighting stance. Lex came at her faster than she had expected be slammed into her sending her through the wall and into the barn.  She again got to her feet, looking around she kept her senses out trying to find him. He came up behind her and grabbed one of her wings pulling so hard it nearly was ripped off. Shannon's scream echoed the barn before she finally fell to the floor unconscious.
"Fool." He stepped over her and left.
